Nice choice. Here's mine:

genuinely surprised by this - it's a 70's classic - the album cut is longer, and has the 'metal on metal' section, and an admittedly longer than necessary outro, but is a fundamental piece of electronic music history - along with the entire 'computer world' album a few years later, (which is one of my favourite albums OAT), it's definitive.

a fundamental piece of electronic music history

It's just a personal thing with me. I don't like electronic music. I guess I'm a roots guy. I find the synthetic sounds and repetition very irritating. I clearly don't get it.

I'm not an electronic music aficionado particularly either, but these tracks exemplify the form (similarly to how James Brown did with funk - i'm not a big funk guy either, but some of his cuts are sublime) - it's utterly distinct from most of it's peers in that era.

Maybe give Computer World a spin, it's theme and presentation are some of their best work, plus the album clocks in around just 35 minutes, not too long to suffer, lol

I will. I tend to be close minded about music. I'm trying to broaden my horizons. James Brown - now you're talking. I love his stuff.

I was never a kraftwerk fan but I did like some 80s synth pop.
